These procedures describe how to install and configure a single Enterprise Controller and one or more Proxy Controllers on Oracle Solaris systems.
The first step in this process is to install the Enterprise Controller, using either a customer-managed remote database or an embedded database.
Once you have installed the Enterprise Controller, you configure it. The configuration process specifies many characteristics of the Enterprise Controller, and can install and configure one or more Proxy Controllers based on your choice of deployment:
A simple deployment configures the co-located Proxy Controller on the Enterprise Controller system.
An advanced deployment remotely installs and configures one or more Proxy Controllers on remote systems.
Installing Proxy Controllers outside of the configuration wizard lets you install and configure Proxy Controllers remotely or manually after configuring the Enterprise Controller.
Manual configuration lets you create a configuration file with the configuration details. You can enable the co-located Proxy Controller using manual configuration, but other Proxy Controllers must be configured separately.
If you decided to install Proxy Controllers outside of the configuration wizard, or if you need to install Proxy Controllers at a later date, use the procedures in the Installing Proxy Controllers chapter.
In a typical initial installation, you install and configure an Enterprise Controller first, and install and configure Proxy Controllers as part of the configuration process. A Proxy Controller is automatically installed on the system where you install the Enterprise Controller, but you choose whether or not to enable it.
On Oracle Solaris 10, this installation installs, or upgrades to, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 Update 71 for the use of the Enterprise Controller and Proxy Controllers. Later versions of JRE are not affected. On Oracle Solaris 11, the installation uses the versions of JRE installed by the OS. To update the JRE to the latest version, update the Enterprise Controller and Proxy Controller operating systems to the latest version of Oracle Solaris 11.
Note:
If your environment includes Oracle VM Servers for x86, the Proxy Controllers that manage these systems must be modified to use JRE 6. This procedure is described in the Installing Proxy Controllers chapter.Note:
The installation disables the Oracle Solaris 11 update manager service,svc:/application/pkg/update:default
, if it is enabled.This procedure describes the steps required to install Enterprise Controller software on a system that is running at least Oracle Solaris 10 OS. This procedure also installs an embedded database.
The script that installs the Enterprise Controller also automatically installs a Proxy Controller on the same system, but it does not enable the Proxy Controller. In the configuration steps that follow this software installation procedure, you can choose to enable this Proxy Controller.
Before you install Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center with an embedded database, you must download the correct Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition installation bundles for your environment.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12.2.0 and 12.2.1 use Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition version 11.2.0.3 installation bundles.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12.2.2 uses Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition version 11.2.0.4 installation bundles.
Note:
This procedure requires a valid My Oracle Support (MOS) account, which must be associated with a Customer Service Identifier (CSI) with a software contract.Create a /var/tmp/downloads
directory on the Enterprise Controller system.
Navigate to http://support.oracle.com, click Sign In, and sign in with your My Oracle Support (MOS) credentials.
Click the Patches & Updates tab.
Enter the patch number for your version in the field next to Patch Name or Number.
For Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition version 11.2.0.3, enter 10404530.
For Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition version 11.2.0.4, enter 13390677.
Click the Add Filter icon, then select your Enterprise Controller system's operating system and architecture in the drop-down menu next to Platform.
Click Search.
The Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition patch set of the appropriate version is displayed.
Click Download.
The file download popup is displayed.
Download the first two files. These files end with either _1of6.zip
and _2of6.zip
if you are using Oracle Solaris on x86, or _1of7.zip
and _2of7.zip
if you are using Oracle Solaris on SPARC.
Copy or move the downloaded installation bundles to the /var/tmp/downloads
directory on the Enterprise Controller system.
To Install an Enterprise Controller with an Embedded Database
This procedure installs the Enterprise Controller, co-located Proxy Controller, and embedded database.
Note:
You can run an Enterprise Controller in a whole root zone. In this way, you do not need to have a dedicated system for the Enterprise Controller. If you install the Enterprise Controller in an Oracle Solaris 10 zone, you cannot enable the co-located Proxy Controller.If you are installing on Oracle Solaris 11, and if the system requires an HTTP proxy to reach the Internet, set the http_proxy
and https_proxy
environment variables. These values are only used during the installation. Use the following format:
http_proxy=http://<proxy IP address>:<port number>
or http://<username:password>@<proxy IP address>:<port number>
- This variable specifies the proxy server to use for HTTP.
https_proxy=https://<proxy IP address>:<port number>
or https://<username:password>@<proxy IP address>:<port number>
- This variable specifies the proxy server to use for HTTPS.
For example:
export http_proxy=http://10.79.204.11:8080 export https_proxy=https://10.79.204.12:8080
If you are installing on Oracle Solaris 11, check the user type for the root user. If root is a role, configure root as a normal user. For example:
# grep root /etc/user_attr root::::type=role;auths=solaris.*,solaris.grant;profiles=... # sudo rolemod -K type=normal root
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.zip /var/tmp/OC
The installation archive consumes about 3.5 GBytes of disk space.
Change to the directory where the installation archive is located on your system.
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Expand the installation archive, then list the contents of the expanded directory.
If your installation archive has the .zip
extension, use the unzip
command to uncompress the archive. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.zip # ls enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
If your installation archive has the .tar.zip
extension, use the unzip
and tar
commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1 GB of additional space. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.tar.zip | tar xf - # ls enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.tar.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
Change directory to xvmoc_full_bundle
, and run the install
script. For example:
# cd xvmoc_full_bundle # ./install
The Oracle Configuration Manager installation text is displayed. Enter the My Oracle Support user name or email address that you want to associate with Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
Provide your email address to be informed of security issues, install and initiate Oracle Configuration Manager. Easier for you if you use your My Oracle Support Email address/User Name. Visit http://www.oracle.com/support/policies.html for details. Email address/User Name:
If you want security updates to appear on your My Oracle Support page, enter your My Oracle Support password.
Provide your My Oracle Support password to receive security updates via your My Oracle Support account. Password (optional):
The screen clears, then the install script displays a list of installation tasks that automatically updates as the installation proceeds. For example:

Review and correct any problems when the install
script checks for installation prerequisites that are not met. For example, this install
script detected insufficient disk space:
Warning for Step: Check for installation prerequisites. The following is a portion of the installer log which may indicate the cause of the warning. If this does not indicate the cause of the warning, you will need to view the full log file. More information on how to do that is available below. You may choose to ignore this warning by selecting to continue. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ignoring job: 01checkRPMs.pl Ignoring job: 03removeEmptyDirs.pl Executing job: jobs/00checkPrereqs.pl --install WARNING: Installation prerequisites not met: Disk: / 72G needed, 24G available. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please fix the problem and then try this step again. For a full log of the failed install see the file: /var/tmp/installer.log.9361. t. Try this step again (correct the failure before proceeding) c. Continue (ignore the warning) x. Exit Enter selection: (t/c/x)
You can enter t
to try again, c
to continue and ignore the warning, or x
to exit the install script. You should exit the install script, correct the problem, and then run the install script again, which resumes from where it stopped. Choose to continue and ignore the warning only if you accept the impact that the error condition will have on your installation. Entering t
typically produces the same error, unless you are able to correct the problem before trying the step again. If the install script finds that all prerequisites have been satisfied, or if you choose to continue despite the warning, the install script continues and installs all Enterprise Controller and Proxy Controller components.
When complete, the install script displays a confirmation that all components have been installed. The /var/tmp/installer.log.latest
file contains the installation log.
Use the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/ecadm
command to check the status of the Enterprise Controller services. If the installation has completed successfully, the services should be online. For example:
# /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/ecadm status online #
When the installation is complete, configure the Enterprise Controller using one of the procedures in the Configuring an Enterprise Controller section.
This procedure describes the steps required to install Enterprise Controller software on a system that is running at least Oracle Solaris 10 OS. This procedure also configures the software to use a customer-managed database. The customer-managed database must be installed and configured separately prior to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center installation.
See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Certified Systems Matrix for a list of supported database versions and database options.
The script that installs the Enterprise Controller also automatically installs a Proxy Controller on the same system, but it does not enable the Proxy Controller. In the configuration steps that follow this software installation procedure, you can choose to enable this Proxy Controller.
If you are reinstalling your Enterprise Controller as part of a restore, several steps related to the database have alternate procedures or must be skipped. These steps are indicated in the procedure.
Note:
The installation procedure requires database user name, password, and URL information. Work with your database administrator if you do not have access to this information.Complete this procedure before beginning the installation.
Identify an existing Oracle Database 11gR2 Enterprise Edition database to use, or install and configure a customer-managed database according to the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition installation documentation. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Certified Systems Matrix for a list of supported database versions and database options.
Create a directory on the database system that can be used as the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center dump directory. This directory must be owned by the Oracle user. If you are using Oracle Real Application Cluster (Oracle RAC), this directory must be shared between all Oracle RAC nodes.
Note:
If you are using Oracle RAC on the database system, the dump directory must be mounted over NFS using the following NFS settings:rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,proto=tcp,vers=3,suid
See the Configuring Storage for Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) chapter of the Oracle® Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide for more information.
To Install an Enterprise Controller with a Customer-Managed Database
This procedure installs the Enterprise Controller and co-located Proxy Controller, and configures the software to use a customer-managed database.
Note:
You can run an Enterprise Controller in a whole root zone. In this way, you do not need to have a dedicated system for the Enterprise Controller. If you install the Enterprise Controller in an Oracle Solaris 10 zone, you cannot enable the co-located Proxy Controller.If you are installing on Oracle Solaris 11, and if the system requires an HTTP proxy to reach the Internet, set the http_proxy
and https_proxy
environment variables. These values are only used during the installation. Use the following format:
http_proxy=http://<proxy IP address>:<port number>
or http://<username:password>@<proxy IP address>:<port number>
- This variable specifies the proxy server to use for HTTP.
https_proxy=https://<proxy IP address>:<port number>
or https://<username:password>@<proxy IP address>:<port number>
- This variable specifies the proxy server to use for HTTPS.
For example:
export http_proxy=http://10.79.204.11:8080 export https_proxy=https://10.79.204.12:8080
If you are installing on Oracle Solaris 11, check the user type for the root user. If root is a role, configure root as a normal user. For example:
# grep root /etc/user_attr root::::type=role;auths=solaris.*,solaris.grant;profiles=... # sudo rolemod -K type=normal root
Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy or move the appropriate Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
# mkdir /var/tmp/OC # cp enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.tar.gz /var/tmp/OC
The installation archive consumes about 3.5 GBytes of disk space.
Change to the directory where the installation archive is located on your system.
# cd /var/tmp/OC #
Expand the installation archive, then list the contents of the expanded directory.
If your installation archive has the .zip
extension, use the unzip
command to uncompress the archive. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.zip # ls enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
If your installation archive has the .tar.zip
extension, use the unzip
and tar
commands to uncompress and un-tar the archive, then list the contents of the temporary directory. The following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1 GB of additional space. For example:
# unzip enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.tar.zip | tar xf - # ls enterprise-controller.Solaris.sparc.12.2.2.808.tar.zip xvmoc_full_bundle #
Copy the createOCSchema_remote.sql
script from the Enterprise Controller to the customer-managed database server.
If you are reinstalling your Enterprise Controller as part of a restore, skip this step.
On Oracle Solaris for x86 systems, this script is in the /var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/SunOS_i386/Product/installer/scripts
directory.
On Oracle Solaris for SPARC systems, this script is in the /var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/SunOS_SPARC/Product/installer/scripts
directory.
For example, on the customer-managed database server:
# scp root@EnterpriseController:/var/tmp/OC/xvmoc_full_bundle/SunOS_sparc/Product/installer/scripts/createOCSchema_remote.sql . Password: createOCSchema_remote.sql 100% |*********************| 1486 00:00
Create the following tablespaces on the database.
If you are reinstalling your Enterprise Controller as part of a restore, skip this step.
Default tablespace: This is the default tablespace for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user.
Report tablespace: This is the tablespace used for report data. Create this tablespace with the name OC_RM_RESOURCE_TS
.
Temporary tablespace: This is the temporary tablespace for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user.
As the customer-managed database administrator, run the createOCSchema_remote.sql
script. If you are reinstalling your Enterprise Controller as part of a restore, skip this step.
The script creates the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center users, assigns the default and temporary tablespaces, and assigns the dump directory.
The script prompts you for the following information:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user name: This is a database user that is created by the script, which Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to access the database.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center password: This is the password for the database user.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center read-only user name: This is a read-only database user, which Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to view the database.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center read-only password: This is the password for the read-only database user.
Default tablespace: This is the default tablespace for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user.
Report tablespace: This is the tablespace used for report data.
Temporary tablespace: This is the temporary tablespace for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center user.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center dump directory: This directory must exist and must be owned by the oracle
user. If you are using Oracle RAC, this directory must be shared between all Oracle RAC nodes.
When you enter all of the required information, the createOCSchema_remote.sql
script indicates completion and exits.

Create a database properties file on the Enterprise Controller system. Within the file, specify the location of the customer-managed database and the same user and read-only user credentials supplied in the schema creation script. The following properties must be specified:
mgmtdb.appuser=<user name>: This is a database user that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to access the database.
mgmtdb.password=<password>: This is the password for the database user. See the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition documentation for information about password length and character restrictions.
mgmtdb.roappuser=<read-only user name>: This is a read-only database user that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to view the database.
mgmtdb.ropassword=<read-only password>: This is the password for the read-only database user.
mgmtdb.dburl=jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database access data>: This is the URL, port, and service name for the database. You can use any of these formats for this information:
mgmtdb.dburl=jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database host name>:<port>/<database service name> mgmtdb.dburl=jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database host name>:<port>:<SID> mgmtdb.dburl=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(HOST=<host>)(PORT=<port>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=<service>)))
For example:
# vi /var/tmp/RemoteDBProps.txt mgmtdb.appuser=user mgmtdb.password=userpass mgmtdb.roappuser=user mgmtdb.ropassword=userpass mgmtdb.dburl=jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521/OCDB
Change directory to xvmoc_full_bundle
, and run the install
script with the --remoteDBprops=<path to database properties file>
option.
For example:
# cd xvmoc_full_bundle # ./install --remoteDBprops=/var/tmp/remoteDBProps.txt
If you are reinstalling your Enterprise Controller as part of a restore, use the --preserveDB
option to preserve the existing Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center database application schema.
For example:
# cd xvmoc_full_bundle # ./install --preserveDB --remoteDBprops=/var/tmp/remoteDBProps.txt

Exit Enter selection: (t/c/x)
You can enter t
to try again, c
to continue and ignore the warning, or x
to exit the install script. You should exit the install script, correct the problem, and then run the install script again, which resumes from where it stopped. Choose to continue and ignore the warning only if you accept the impact that the error condition will have on your installation. Entering t

When complete, the install script displays a confirmation that all components have been installed. The /var/tmp/installer.log.latest
file contains the installation log.
Use the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/ecadm
command to check the status of the Enterprise Controller services. When the installation has completed successfully, the services should be online. For example:
# /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/ecadm status online #
Delete the database properties file that you created on the Enterprise Controller system.
For example:
# rm /var/tmp/RemoteDBProps.txt
When the installation is complete, configure the Enterprise Controller using one of the procedures in the Configuring an Enterprise Controller section.
After you install the Enterprise Controller, you must configure it. During the configuration process, you specify how Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center operates.
The following tasks are part of the configuration process:
Supplying Enterprise Controller information
Deploying one or more Proxy Controllers (optional in this wizard, but must be performed before using the software)
Registering the Enterprise Controller (optional)
Creating libraries
Choosing a connection mode and configuring services (optional in this wizard, but must be performed before using the software)
This procedure describes the complete Enterprise Controller configuration process, including Proxy Controller deployment, asset discovery, connection mode selection, and registration.
Four types of configuration are described in this section:
Simple deployment: A simple deployment configures the co-located Proxy Controller on the Enterprise Controller system. This deployment is effective for small environments.
Advanced deployment: An advanced deployment installs and configures one or more Proxy Controllers on remote systems. This deployment is effective for larger environments.
Deploy without installing a Proxy Controller: This deployment configures the Enterprise Controller without installing or configuring any Proxy Controllers. This deployment is appropriate if you intend to install and configure Proxy Controllers after configuration. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center cannot function without at least one Proxy Controller.
Configuring an Enterprise Controller manually: This deployment configures the Enterprise Controller according to a configuration profile that you create. You can enable the co-located Proxy Controller using manual configuration, but other Proxy Controllers must be configured separately.
Note:
If you installed the Enterprise Controller in a zone on Oracle Solaris 10, the co-located Proxy Controller cannot be enabled. This is because the Proxy Controller requires an NFS server that is required for OS provisioning. You must install or deploy one or more separate Proxy Controllers. The co-located Proxy Controller can be enabled normally if the Enterprise Controller is installed in an Oracle Solaris 11 zone.Note:
You should not install a Proxy Controller in an environment where there is a web proxy which requires authentication between the Enterprise Controller and the Proxy Controller. Many OS update functions are not usable for systems managed by such a Proxy Controller.Note:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center has self-signed certificates that it uses for authentication between its components. If you prefer to use certificates authenticated by a Certificate Authority, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Security Guide and perform the Substitute Certificates procedure before you install any Proxy Controllers.A simple deployment configures the co-located Proxy Controller on the Enterprise Controller system.
If you intend to operate in Disconnected Mode, in which the Enterprise Controller operates without an internet connection, acquire a Knowledge Base (KB) bundle. The example below downloads the KB bundle. The KB bundle is the only required component, but you can download OS content such as patches and baselines as well. See the Using Disconnected Mode guide or the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Administration Guide for more information.
Download the harvester from https://updates.oracle.com/OCDoctor/harvester_bundle-latest.zip file on an Internet-facing system.
Unzip the bundle.
Run the harvester
script on an Internet-facing Oracle Solaris or Linux system. The script connects to the Oracle Datacenter and creates an update bundle. For example:
# ./harvester --user <MOS user name> --password-file <password file location> --kb-only Directory /export/home/public not found. This directory will be created. Setting up local directory structure at: /export/home/public Initialization: Downloading channels.xml Tue Jan 17 05:08:01 MST 2012 Clearing cookies to initialize new session. Distributions: Identifying and Downloading the Notifications and Seeker scripts Creating tarball...

Copy the resulting bundle back to the Enterprise Controller system.
If you intend to operate in Disconnected Mode with an Oracle Solaris 11 Enterprise Controller, create an IPS repository that is accessible to the Enterprise Controller. See the Oracle Solaris 11 documentation at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/solaris-11-192991.html for more information.
If you intend to operate in Connected Mode, go to https://support.oracle.com/ and log in to verify that you have a valid set of My Oracle Support (MOS) credentials.
